OSHA Recommends Employee Training to Support Workplace Safety during the Holiday Season
OSHA has prepared a Crowd Management Safety Guidelines for Retailers Fact Sheet to help employers and store owners avoid injuries during the holiday shopping season, or other events where large crowds may gather. Crowd management planning should begin in advance of events that are likely to draw large crowds, and crowd management, pre-event setup, and emergency situation management should be part of event planning.

Tips for All Workplaces
As we approach the holiday shopping season, it's important for employers to ensure that all workers are trained to recognize and prevent job hazards. OSHA has provided resources to help keep workers safe at every step along the way whether you’re shopping at retail stores or getting gifts delivered from the warehouse to your home.

This Week is Drowsy Driving Prevention Week 
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) holds Drowsy Driving Prevention Week each year the week following the end of Daylight Saving Time. The goal of this annual campaign is to reduce the number of drivers who drive while sleep deprived. Drowsy driving is responsible for more than 6,400 U.S. deaths annually. Fall-asleep crashes are often caused by not getting the sleep you need.
 
NSF encourages everyone to prioritize sleep, drive when alert and refreshed and be especially careful when commuting to work. Drowsy driving is preventable. Learn More
